portion of the tool operating controls is inopera-

ble, disconnected, altered, or not working prop-

erly.

12. Operate the tool within the specified air pressure

on the tool label for safety and longer tool life.

Do not exceed the recommended max. operating

pressure. The tool should not be connected to a

source whose pressure potentially exceeds 14.0

kgf/cm

G (200 PSIG).

13. Never use the tool with other than compressed

air. If bottled gas (carbon dioxide, oxygen, nitro-

gen, hydrogen, air, etc.) or combustible gas

(hydrogen, propane, acetylene, etc.) is used as a

power source for this tool, the tool will explode

and cause serious injury.

14. Always check the tool for its overall condition

and loose screws before operation. Tighten as

required.

15. Make sure all safety systems are in working

order before operation. The tool must not oper-

ate if only the trigger is pulled or if only the con-

tact element is pressed against the wood. It must

work only when both actions are performed. Test

for possible faulty operation with nails unloaded

and the contact element in fully pulled position.

16. Make sure that the trigger is locked when the

change lever is set to the LOCK position.

17. Check walls, ceilings, floors, roofing and the like

carefully to avoid possible electrical shock, gas

leakage, explosions, etc. caused by striking live

wires, conduits or gas pipes.

18. Use only nails specified in this manual. The use

of any other nails may cause malfunction of the

tool.

19. Do not permit those uninstructed to use the tool.

20. Make sure no one is nearby before nailing. Never

attempt to nail from both the inside and outside

at the same time. Nails may rip through and/or

fly off, presenting a grave danger.

21. Watch your footing and maintain your balance

with the tool. Make sure there is no one below

when working in high locations, and secure the

air hose to prevent danger if there is sudden

jerking or catching.

22. On rooftops and other high locations, nail as you

move forward. It is easy to lose your footing if

you nail while inching backward. When nailing

against perpendicular surface, nail from the top

to the bottom. You can perform nailing opera-

tions with less fatigue by doing so.

23. A nail will be bent or the tool can become

jammed if you mistakenly nail on top of another

nail or strike a knot in the wood. The nail may be

thrown and hit someone, or the tool itself can

react dangerously. Place the nails with care.

24. Do not leave the loaded tool or the air compres-

sor under pressure for a long time out in the sun.

Be sure that dust, sand, chips and foreign matter

will not enter the tool in the place where you

leave it setting.

25. Do not point the ejection port at anyone in the

vicinity. Keep hands and feet away from the ejec-

tion port area.

26. When the air hose is connected, do not carry the

tool with your finger on the trigger or hand it to

someone in this condition. Accidental firing can

be extremely dangerous.

27. Handle the tool carefully, as there is high pres-

sure inside the tool that can be dangerous if a

crack is caused by rough handling (dropping or

striking). Do not attempt to carve or engrave on

the tool.

28. Stop nailing operations immediately if you

notice something wrong or out of the ordinary

with the tool.

29. Always disconnect the air hose and remove all of

the nails:

(1) When unattended.

(2) Before performing any maintenance or

repair.

(3) Before cleaning a jam.

(4) Before moving the tool to a new location.

30. Perform cleaning and maintenance right after

finishing the job. Keep the tool in tip-top condi-

tion. Lubricate moving parts to prevent rusting

and minimize friction-related wear. Wipe off all

dust from the parts.

31. When not operating the tool, always lock the trig-

ger by turning the change lever to the LOCK

position.

32. Do not modify tool without authorization from

Makita.

33. Do not attempt to keep the trigger or contact ele-

ment depressed with tape or wire. Death or seri-

ous injury may occur.

34. Always check contact element as instructed in

this manual. Nails may be driven accidentally if

the safety mechanism is not working correctly.

35. Ask Makita's Authorized service centers for peri-

odical inspection of the tool.

36. To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY,

maintenance and repairs should be performed

by Makita Authorized or Factory Service Centers,

always using Makita replacement parts.
